a nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse
in the world of out of controlled ego`s
and biometric recognition
advertising executives
sip and tip the balance
illusions drip from the eyes
hidden within fake utopia`s
consumer pimps meet attention whore`s
myth and fantasy merge
wanna be`s become has been`s
in everyday reality
blind lead the blind
down the back alley of virtual reality
driven by targets excelerating change
through the sewer pipe of life
they promise you the world
an aristocratic web of lies and deceit
the blue blood of a spider
settled existance`s destroyed
by dynamic mobilities
multiple loops of packet switching
a newscasting dancing circus
the x factor with stars in there eyes
a gross chat show host
cutting the cloth irrespective of the measure
there is a demand for excessive profit
on the sweet bye and bye
there is no need to lie
under nourished .. under fed
pre-0ccuppied inside
nothing lasts forever
at the banquet of peking duck
and bombay potatoes
some bright spark of low intelect
illuminated their kantian rhetoric
then pissed in the ocean
choosing an appearance gulliver travels
unknown expenses begin to unravel
a treasure trove of disinformation
blinded by illusion the image descends
suggestabilty leads to probability
centuries of drudgery and expliotation
what did you think the war is still over
this is the blessed free market economy
the markets are now again considered
more important than the people

Did Joyce hint that “utility art” is de facto pornography? State doesn’t educate good citizens, but good consumers/producers, whose product is consumption and the begetting of future consumers/producers. A trove of dis in formation…cut cloth irrespective of measure…potatoes from bomb bays falling on ducks peeking at pimp/whore trans-action. Monkey pee, monkey dew, Oceania we are here.
measure to measure at your pleasure …your comment indirect and cryptically astute as ever
thanks alot gamache

Excellent my friend….the world is mad and we pander to its comforts.
so we do at times can`t be helped i suppose …we all need the occasional bit of comfort

machines and embryos – nothing more – one must be one or the other, and while machines are contemptuous of the living, the living pity machines (or is that another kind of contempt?) be glad to have a heart-beat mon ami. the bank accounts of machines have less longevity – it looks unfair because it is unfair (but not in the way it initially seems). your writing is savagely beautiful – truth without mercy. angelic.
you are too kind ….machine and embryos… sometime i feel as humans we are quite robitic we get into habitual modes of behaviour
but there is morphogenesis and spontaneous pattern formation in life and creation so i do find hope in the most strangest of places thankyou judith you are an inspirational person yourself
